Michael, That February thread was about the need to plug the scanner into the desktop directly, not into an external USB hub because the power limits for the latter were insufficient for the scanner. That's not today's issue. lsusb, sane-find-scanner, scanimage -L, and xsane all find the hardware, but xsane cannot communicate with it. Canon's scangearmp2 now doesn't find the hardware. Canon is making an exception for a warranty return on a 6-month old scanner because they know how to trouble shoot using only Microsoft or Apple software; they don't support linux. Except, they provide scangearmp2 as .deb, .rpm, and .tgz files ... for linux. Strange company. Now I'm looking for a backup scanner from a company that does support linux.
